《Dragon Princess》Chapter 22 - The Dark Wizard
Advertisement
Hey guys, this chapter was supposed to come out around 8pm, but due to many bug I was delayed ^^'
Well it's still there, don't forget to leave a comment. Enjoy !
*********** ************** *********** **************** **************
Shina : " She is finally waking up. "
Arias : " I really thought she would die back there. "
Eniel : " I still want to kill her, she tried to hurt my sister. "
Shina : " Come on, we need her help Eniel. "
Isendel finally woke up a few hours after our fight, my dark mana was really effective on her. Just a little cut of Kiel infused with dark mana was enough to almost kill her. I had to destroy the dark aura spreading into her body with Light magic to heal her.
Arias and I had to stay near her without taking a single break to make sure Eniel wouldn't kill her. I also asked Nuya to stay with Estiel and Fiona just in case the Fairy Queen would try something.
Isendel : " W-Where am I ? " She said in a weak voice.
Shina : " Don't you remember our duel ? "
Isendel : " Duel?... Oh right, I lost to a kid; if my people were to know that. So why did you keep me alive ? "
Shina : " I already told you before, I want your help against the dark wizard. "
Isendel : " You don't need my help, you are already strong enough to beat him alone. " She answered with a mocking smirk
Eniel : " See, it's useless to ask her, just let me kill her. " She said as she brought her katana to Isendel's throat. But Isendel got out of the bed and stared at Eniel.
Isendel : " Come and try to take my li... You... Just how many secrets do you guys hold ? "
Shina : " What do you mean ? " I asked her, I know I am not like everyone, but Eniel should be a normal demihuman... What did Verlox do to her ?
Isendel : " Why do she got Eclensia's bloodstone ?! "
Shina : " What's that ? " I asked her somewhat surprised.
Arias : " It's a legendary treasure made by the Dragon God, he imbued a part of his power into some drop of his blood. This blood transformed into a crimson jewel called Eclensia's bloodstone. "
Eniel : " He said it was called a Soul Weapon. "
Isendel : " Indeed, when in contact with owner's blood, the jewel turn into a mist and fuse with the owner's soul and make a weapon. This weapon can be used anywhere and will never break; the weapon reflect the owner's soul. For example, if the user is a demon or someone with a dark soul, then the weapon will be a weapon with an affiliation to darkness. "
Shina : " So Verlox gave you something like that ? How lucky... "
I am really envious, none of my weapons are strong enough to withstand my power. For now I have Kiel, but when we get back to the capital, I ll have to give it back.
Arias : " Who's that Verlox ? He must be a legendary figure to have a treasure like this. "
Shina : " My caretaker. "
Eniel : " My teacher. "
Isendel : " It's strange, this name somehow feel familiar... Verlox, where did I hear that... "
Isendel suddenly froze.
Isendel : " It can't be... His full name isn't Veralox right ? " She asked somewhat unsure.
Shina : " Yup, it's that; but Verlox is easier to say. "
Arias : " You mean the evil Dragon God is your caretaker ? You girls must be lying...right ? " He said looking toward Isendel.

Isendel : " I wish they were... Being able to see through lies is sometime terrifying. "
Shina : " Anyway, please help us to defeat the dark wizard. Sooner or later the fairies may be affected by his presence too. "
Isendel : " I ll accept only if you tell me who you truly are and what you are doing here in this forest. I can't believe the Dragon God would take care of someone without any reason. "
Shina : " Fine, the three Primal God aren't the one who made this world, but it was my two parents. Only Verlox is aware of this and he is my parent's servant who asked him to take care of me while they were sleeping. I was in a town with some friends and we were attacked by some strange men and we were teleported in this forest. I don't think I forgot something. "
Arias : " Milady ? " He looked toward Isendal unsure.
Isendel : " I am loosing faith in my 'Truth-Sight' ability... "
Shina : " By the way, do you know a fairy named Nuya ? "
Isendel : " Yes, I heard of a mutated fairy who was living in a village near here. I am the one who allowed her to live there. It also seem she was helped by your group. "
Shina : " I want to take her with me, there's no problem right ? "
Isendel : " She broke our agreement and tried to escape, she has no place in our country anymore. Do whatever you want with her. "
A few days passed since my fight with Isendel, she went back to her country to prepare an army. Meanwhile I trained with Estiel and Eniel who was now completely healed, I said training but it wasn't really the case.
Eniel never fight against me with all her strength, she is only dodging my attacks and doing some slows slash. Each time I ask her to fight seriously she only respond 'I don't want to hurt you ' with a doggy look in her eyes...
Estiel unlike her is always fighting with all her strength, but she can't even hit us. She has to team up with Fiona to be able to fight against us. Alone the two of them aren't really strong, but together they cover each others weakness and become a strong opponent.
After those few days, Isendel came back with an army of fairies. It's somewhat strange to see an army of fairies, I mean how can you call a group of little flying girl of around 10 cm an army ?
Isendel : " I came to fulfill my promise, I brought with me 1000 of my soldiers. Let's go kill that dark wizard so that I can go back to my castle... Such a bother. "
Arias : " Thanks for your help Milady. "
Estiel : " You don't have to thanks her you know ? She only came because of Shina. " She said looking at her with contempt.
Isendel : " She is right, if it wasn't because of that girl, I would stay in my castle. "
Shina : " Calm down Estiel, at least she came back. "
Isendel : " Anyway, let's hurry and get him. "
*********** ************** *********** **************** **************
We walked a few hours in the forest before arriving in front of a cave.
Arias : " This is from where the Dwener come from, it is also here that my father led the warriors of our village. "
Isendel : " I ll send some scouts, we don't know the number of Dweners inside. "

Arias : " Meanwhile we will prepare many traps just in case, we aren't good with melee weapons. "
After a few minutes, we could hear a large noise coming from the cave, it was getting closer and closer.
An army of Dwener came out of the cave, it was a good thing that Arias made some trap beforehand. In a small instant a hundred of Dwener came out of the cave, their number didn't stop growing.
Isendel : " Soldiers, use earth magic to trap them, then finish them with wind magic. "
Shina : " Eniel, let's go in too. " Eniel's face turned into a cold one, but if you looked closely you could see a little smile.
Eniel : " Take care. "
Eniel took out her two katana and rushed into the large group of enemy, cutting the Dweners one after another.
Her katana are enveloped by an ice and wind aura... Geez she is already completely soaked with their blood.
Shina : " Eniel, Fiona, stay with the elves group and fight from afar. Nuya, you too stay with them. "
Fiona : " Be careful. " She answered with a somewhat kind yet lonely smile, Estiel simply tapped her shoulder.
Nuya : " Have fun, but try not to get hurt. "
Shina : " Of course. "
I followed her example and rushed in after infused Kiel with Light mana. But this time instead of red line it was a grey line who appeared on the sword.
I am killing every enemy climbing the walls made by the fairies and at the same time I am protected from the elves's arrow.
Another reason why I choose to fight here is because I am alone, I can use my magic without having to worry about others.
Shina : " Freeze / Fire / Burst " I used my Ancient Language without limit, I learned at school that it can't hurt me.
At each words, a dozens of Dweners died; some were burned to ashes, some were frozen, some were impaled by earth spike...
But the using my sword was far more effective than Ancient Language. After infusing Kiel with light mana, each slash killed a few Dwener without even touching him. Each time my sword got close to one, his body began to turn into dust.
I didn't even need to touch them with Kiel to kill them, just having my sword close to them was enough. It also meant that they couldn't approach me or hit me.
Yet, no matter how many we killed, more were always coming.
Shina : " Eniel, come with me, we'll head inside and beat the wizard. "
Eniel who seemed to have a great time slashing everything around her calmed down and ran to my side.
Shina : " Stay close to me, they won't be able to harm us. " I said while surrounding us with a small shield made of light mana.
Eniel : " Okay " She said as she forcefully hug me.
Shina : " You don't have to hug me you know ?! " I said pouting.
Eniel : " An elder sister has the right to hug her little sister whenever she want. " She said without showing any expression.
Shina : " But she have to choose the place ! I never heard of an elder sister who hug her sister in the middle of an army of monster !! "
Eniel : " I don't care, I ll be the first one then. " I give up...
*********** ************** *********** **************** **************
We walked through the army of Dweners, the shield killed anyone who came in our direction. But I can't make a shield large enough to kill everyone of them.
We walked for around twenty minutes, with all the Dweners we saw we can estimate their numbers to be around a few thousands. We finally arrived at the end of the cave, it was a large room with a tomb at the center.
A man is standing in front of the tomb, an old man in a large blue robe. His grey hairs, long beard and wrinkles tell us that he should be in his 80th. His pure white skin and the dark aura around him give him a menacing aura.
Old man : " What do we got here ? How did you two girls manage to get here ? " He said with a voice full of arrogance.
Eniel : " We took the one and only way. " Eniel seriously answered
Old man : " You mean that you passed through all the Dweners ? " Eniel only nodded.
Shina : " Tell me, why do you try to destroy the forest with those Dweners ? "
Old man : " Destroying ? Not really, I am trying to take back what is rightfully mine. "
Shina : " What are you talking about ? "
Old man : " I think I can at least explain myself, it's been a few years since I had a visitor. My name is Shoral, a few thousand years ago I was the Dragon King. I was still young and full of myself, I though that I was the strongest being in the world and challenged the Dragon God. "
Shina : " I think I know what happened... "
Eniel : " Me too... " Both of us had pity for him.
Shoral : " He simply treated me as a toy, I couldn't even manage to scratch him. To punish me he sealed my soul in this tomb and my body in the forest. His laugher as he was beating me still resound in my head. After a few thousand of years, my soul began to vanish; it was then that the owner of this body passed by. When he examined my tomb, I took the opportunity to steal his body. And here I am. "
Shina : " But why didn't you just ask the elf to help you with your body ? "
Shoral : " As if I would stoop to ask for help, and my body is hid under the fairies capital. It is also thanks to the mana emanating from my body that fairies are able to form their barrier. Do you truly think they would give me back their only hope of surviving ? I also want to destroy everyone of them for disgracing my body. "
Shina : " I guess arrogance is a racial traits... Do we have no other choice than fighting ? "
Shoral : " Fight ? It won't even be a fight, but a slaughter. "
Several purple balls appeared around Shoral who has a confident smile, all the purple orbs flew in our direction. After withstanding four of them, a few crackles appeared in my shield.
Shina : " Eniel, split ! "
Eniel and I separated and went in two opposite direction, I repaired my shield my adding some mana. Shoral was surprised, he didn't expect us to survive his first attack; he once again formed more orbs.
For his first attack he made a dozens of orbs, but now he made a hundred of them. I couldn't block everyone of them, Eniel and I simply dodged as many as we could and slashed at the ones we couldn't dodge.
As we were trying to defend against Shoral, we also tried to get closer to him. We finally got near him, he was just severals meters ahead of us. When he saw us so close, he gathered several of his orbs in his hand and formed a sword.
He ran toward Eniel and swung his shadow sword at her, but it was a slow swing without any strength behind.
Shoral : " What is this sword of yours made of ? " He said with a surprised face.
While he was concentrated on Eniel, he forgot about me and I wasn't attacked by any orbs. I ran to him and slashed at him, he looked at me and made a little smirk.
Shoral : " It's useless, Darkness "
It didn't surprise me that he used the Ancient Language, Verlox told me that a few dragon know how to use it; being a Dragon King of course he knew it. After said it, the light on my blade began to gradually vanish.
Shina : " Light " I already planned to use the opposite of his words, the light on my sword became even stronger than before.
Shoral : " You ?! How do you...!? "
My sword didn't let him finish his words, he blocked my attack with his shadow sword who started to vanish in contact with Kiel. When our sword were in contact I could feel something come from Kiel, it's pulse became stronger and stronger.
Eniel who was right beside us attacked Shoral's shoulder while he was blocking my blow; her sword just passed through it and almost cut the half of the shoulder.
Shoral : " You two ! I ll let you know what true darkness is ! " He said as he retreated, Eniel tried to follow him but I felt Pan on my head shaking.
Shina : " Come back Eniel ! " I yelled to her.
He gathered all the remaining purple orbs into a small orb who turned darker and darker until it became pitch black. The light emanating from my shield and sword were attracted to the orb, it absorbed them.
Shoral : " The true essence of Darkness is the void, Light and Shadow come from the universe, Light come from the stars while Darkness come from the void between them. "
Once again, he formed a sword, but this time it was made from the black orb. This time, light magic alone won't work, I only have one thing left; but I didn't use it since I left my parents.
I closed my eyes and brought out of my soul light and dark mana and fused them together, I then imbued Kiel with these mana.
When I opened my eyes, Kiel was surrounded by a pitch black aura, but inside of this aura glowed a golden light and changed Kiel's shape, it showed both the grey and red lines. The aura on Kiel wasn't affected by Shoral's black sword.
The pulse of Kiel began stronger and stronger, it made me think of an heartbeat. I charged at Shoral and both of us swung our sword. Our swords collided for a few seconds before his sword began to be absorbed by Kiel and my sword slashed through his chest.
The look in Shoral's eyes was a mix of anger, fear and surprise, but he didn't have the strength to mutter a word. He fell on the ground and stopped moving. Eniel came to me and hugged me.
Eniel : " Are you hurt ? " She said while inspecting my body, seeking for any injuries.
Shina : " I am fine, just tired. With this, everything is over right ? "
??? : " Behind thou Mistress ! "
As I turned back, a earth spike was flying to me; but I didn't feel any mana coming from it. The spike was blocked by a woman dressed in black.
Her long black hairs and silk white skin reminded me of mother...aside from her enormous mountain who should be called breast I think.
She cut the spike in two with a black katana who made me think of Kiel... Wait a minute, Kiel isn't in my hand anymore.
Shina : " You... Who are you ? "
Woman : " This one waited for thee for over two thousand years... Mistress. "
Shina : " What do you mean ? "
Woman : " It's normal that thou don't remember this one, when you lost me in the rift I still didn't have a conscious. But this one still remember everything from back then... If thee still didn't understand, the name those human gave to me is Kiel. The holy sword Kiel. "
